EDA is the process of investigating the dataset to discover patterns, and anomalies (outliers), and form hypotheses based on our understanding of the dataset. EDA involves generating summary statistics for numerical data in the dataset and creating various graphical representations to understand the data better.
Data duplications
# Check for duplicates in train dataset
print("Number of duplicate rows in train dataset: ", train.duplicated().sum())
Number of duplicate rows in train dataset: 0
# Check for duplicates in test dataset
print("Number of duplicate rows in test dataset: ", test.duplicated().sum())
Number of duplicate rows in test dataset: 0
Observations:
No duplication in both Train and Test dataset
Looking at data distributions of all the variables.
Distribution of Population and Weight
## The distribution of all the numerical variables
num_attributes = meta[(meta.level == 'real') & (meta.keep)& (meta.role=="input")].index
i = 0
sns.set_style('whitegrid')
plt.figure()
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1,2,figsize=(10,5))
for feature in num_attributes:
i += 1
plt.subplot(1,2,i)
sns.distplot(train[feature].dropna(), hist = False, rug = True)
plt.xlabel(feature)
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show();
<Figure size 640x480 with 0 Axes>
This code is creating a histogram for each of the numerical variables in the train dataset. It's using the seaborn library's distplot() function, which plots a histogram and a rug plot (a rug plot is a small, vertical lines that show the distribution of the data) for each variable. It's also labeling each x-axis with the name of the variable. The code is also using subplots() function of matplotlib library to create multiple plots in a single figure with 1 row and 2 columns. It's also dropping any missing values for each variable before plotting the histogram. It's using 'meta' dataframe to select only the numerical variables that are inputs and are kept in the analysis. It's using the tight_layout() function to automatically adjust the subplots so that they don't overlap and the show() function to display the plots.
Looking for Outliers
num_attributes = meta[(meta.level == 'real') & (meta.keep)&(meta.role=="input")].index
i = 0
sns.set_style('whitegrid')
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10, 5))
for feature in num_attributes:
fig.add_subplot(1, 2, i+1)
sns.boxplot(y=train[feature])
i += 1
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()
Checking Missing Values
train.isnull().sum()
Id 0 County 89600 Province_State 52360 Country_Region 0 Population 0 Weight 0 Date 0 Target 0 TargetValue 0 dtype: int64
The code above is checking for missing values in the dataset by using the isnull() function and the sum() function. The output of this code shows the number of missing values for each column in the train dataset. It shows that there are 89600 missing values in the "County" column, 52360 missing values in the "Province_State" column, but no missing values in other columns.
for feature in train.columns:

Exploring categorical variables
cat_columns = meta[(meta.level == 'categorical') & (meta.keep)].index
print(cat_columns)
Index(['County', 'Province_State', 'Country_Region', 'Date', 'Target'], dtype='object', name='varname')
This code first selects the categorical columns that are in the meta data DataFrame and that are marked to be kept. It stores the selected columns in the variable cat_columns. Then it prints the column names in cat_columns, which are 'County', 'Province_State', 'Country_Region', 'Date', 'Target' . This is useful because we can see the categorical variables for which we can look for missing values in the train and test datasets.
Checking fatalities against the confirmed cases
sns.barplot(y='TargetValue',x='Target',data=train)
<AxesSubplot:xlabel='Target', ylabel='TargetValue'>
t_grouped=train.groupby(['Target']).sum()
t_grouped.TargetValue
Target ConfirmedCases 11528819 Fatalities 653271 Name: TargetValue, dtype: int64
This shows that there are 5% fatalaties out total confirmed cases.
Checking confirmed cases and fatalaties over Population
sns.barplot(x='Target',y='Population',data=train)

Checking how countiries are contrbuting to the world wide cases
fig = px.treemap(train, path=['Country_Region'], values='TargetValue',
color='Population', hover_data=['Country_Region'],
color_continuous_scale='RdBu')
fig.show()
In this case, the color of each rectangle represents the population of each country. And the hover_data feature allows us to show additional information, in this case, the country's name, when the mouse is over a rectangle. This visualization allows us to easily compare the TargetValue across different countries, and also understand the relationship between TargetValue and Population.
US, Brazil, Russia, UK, India, Italy, Spain, france are the countries among the highest contributors to the covid cases.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the world and has affected millions of people globally. In an effort to understand the spread and impact of COVID-19, a machine learning project was undertaken to develop a predictive model for confirmed cases and fatalities. This report presents the findings and results of the machine learning project aimed at forecasting the spread and impact of COVID-19. The project utilized data from the COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19) and was constructed using a combination of Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and machine learning techniques, with the goal of providing insight into the spread and impact of COVID-19. The dataset used for this project was sourced from a Kaggle competition, and it included daily information on confirmed cases and fatalities of COVID-19 in various countries.
To begin the project, we performed an exploratory data analysis on the dataset. The EDA included visualizing the distribution of cases and fatalities across countries and over time, identifying missing or duplicate data, and identifying potential factors that may impact the spread of COVID-19 such as population and weight. We loaded the two data files, "train.csv" and "test.csv" into Python using the Pandas library and stored them in the variables "train" and "test" respectively. We then used various functions to explore the dataset, such as the info() function, which returned detailed information about each dataframe. We found that the training data had 9 columns, including the target variable 'TargetValue' which we used to train the model. The test data had 8 columns, and the target variable was missing, which was later predicted by our trained model. Performing the EDA revealed several key insights into the spread and impact of COVID-19, including the countries with the highest number of cases and fatalities, the factors that may contribute to the spread of the disease, and the trends in the number of cases and fatalities over time. A treemap was used to visualize the data in terms of population and target value for each country. The data were grouped by Country_Region and the sum of TargetValue was calculated for each country. The top 10 countries with the highest TargetValue were then identified. These countries include the US, Brazil, Russia, the United Kingdom, India, Italy, Spain, and France. Another insight revealed by the EDA was the trends in the number of cases and fatalities over time. A line plot was used to visualize the data, which showed an increasing trend in the number of cases and fatalities over time. This trend can be used to make predictions about the future spread of the disease. We also noticed that the spread of the virus was not solely dependent on population size, as countries with lower population ratios were also heavily affected.
Then we moved to perform data preprocessing, which included dealing with missing values, encoding categorical data, and splitting the data into training and testing sets. We discovered that the data had a small percentage of missing values in the County and Province_State columns in both the train and test datasets, but the percentage of missing data was relatively low (around 9% and 5% respectively), which we dealt with by dropping insignificant attributes such as county and province/state. The remaining data were then encoded for the categorical variables of country and target. We also found that there were no duplications in the dataset and that the data was clean with no major quality issues. We then identified the categorical variables, which included the County, Province_State, Country_Region, Date and Target columns.
Once the data was cleaned and preprocessed, feature engineering was applied to extract important features and relationships from the dataset. Based on these insights, three machine learning algorithms were evaluated for their ability to make accurate predictions: Random Forest Regressor, gradient boosting, and LightGBM Regressor. We used pipeline and standard scaling to preprocess the data and tuned the hyperparameters for each model to improve performance. We evaluated the models using the coefficient of determination (R^2) as the performance metric. After evaluating the models, we found that the Random Forest Regressor had the highest accuracy, with a coefficient of determination of 0.95. We then used this model to make predictions on the test data and the output of the predictions is then reshaped and reformatted to match the expected submission format, with quantile values for q0.05, q0.5, and q0.95 for each "ForecastId_Quantile" and the corresponding "TargetValue" for each quantile. The resulting dataframe is then saved as a CSV file "submission1.csv" and submitted for evaluation.
In conclusion, the machine learning model developed in this project has the potential to be a valuable tool for predicting the spread and impact of COVID-19. The final model was able to make accurate predictions and it can be used by medical and governmental institutions to prepare and adjust as the pandemic unfolds. Further work is needed to improve the model's accuracy and to incorporate additional data sources to enhance its predictive power.
